=======================================================

I have been meaning to write you but until today the schedule was not affirmed. For today if you could please announce for tomorrow, Palm Sunday, procession begins at the new park 7:30AM for the 8:00AM Mass and the 10:00AM will begin outside the Church. I'll give you the schedule for Easter week later today or tomorrow and thank you for reminding me. God Bless.
Dennis Riley    paydennis@prodigy.net.mx   (Sorry, the procession has begun! )
========================================

The aquatic park in Caduano is open and beautiful as ever. I spoke with the owner, he plans to be open every day for the next two weeks then return to the Spring Schedule of Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Their hours are 10am to 6pm. The Snack Shack served great food at the usual attractive pricing. There were 7 cars in the parking lot when we arrived at 11:00am. There is a newer pool to the east side of the grounds that provides a peaceful atmosphere. The slides are well managed and safe. The web site url is: http://parqueacuaticowetfun.com/www.parqueacuaticowetfun.com/Pagina_principal.html  Yes, I did exit my man cave today, the light was blinding at first. A great day in the fresh air!

Suzie Seconds Consignment will be closed Sunday April 1st. Thank you.
============================================

The El Triunfo Paint Project wants to thank those who have participated so far ! Janis and Cal, Sandy, Noel and Connie, Paul and others ... please know your efforts are greatly appreciated. For example ... I distributed 2 gallons of beige paint this morning to Amelia so she could paint her son Herman's room and her kitchen that has no running water. Herman is 100% disabled with cerebral palsy and for 34 years has been under 24 hour care by Amelia. She could never afford it otherwise. Contact Link at 624 - 1824068 or email ... cabolink@yahoo.com  ... or drop paint donations at the Baja Properties Office in Los Barriles ... or I will come to your place and pick it up.
===========================================

All Pilates in the Afternoon classes at the Yoga and Pilates Studio are cancelled for the season. Muchas gracias to all participants! It has been enjoyable. Let's do it again next season! Any cards that still have class credits on them will be carried forward for next season. See you in November! Anne Herschleb; aherschleb@gmail.com

THUMBS UP - ANSWERS - DISCUSSIONS- This category must have name & email address.

a.  Re: filing U.S. tax forms 3520, 3520A and 8398. I received TONS of responses from you all and the tally was 50/50 re: who files and who doesn't. Among CPA's I contacted, the vote was 80/20 to do it--but they all agreed that it was "silly". The change for 2011, I think, is that the form instructions actually say "fidiecomiso". They WANT disclosure of our homes and understand that most of us own them via a fide with ourselves as the beneficiaries. And they want the info even if we have no income or Mexican bank accounts. So I guess the final answer is that there is no final answer. FYI: We are filing the forms this year.

The My Thing of Beauty jewelry collection is a result of morning walks on East Cape beaches and discovering wonderful gifts delivered daily from the Sea of Cortes. These found Sea Glass bits and Sea Shells are combined with faceted glass beads, fresh water pearls and semi-precious stones to create one-of-a-kind necklaces, bracelets, earrings & book markers.

BATIK TECHNIQUE: Melted wax is applied to cloth before being dipped in dye. The beeswax will hold to the fabric and  the paraffin wax will allow cracking, which is a characteristic of batik. Wherever the wax has seeped through the fabric, the dye will  not penetrate This traditional method of batik making is called batik tulis.
